Why does that sound like such an *oh my goodness* number: 15 weeks! I told Matt the other day that we have only 5 more weeks until we're half-way to having this kid be here. I think that's got us both motivated :-)
I'm addicted to my doppler. Once a day I listen, just to make sure everything is going all right. What is interesting is that when I use the doppler sometimes I get a sound like someone thumping a microphone...I half-wonder if it's the Alien kicking or hitting near where I have the "probe". If it is I haven't felt it; and THAT is a feeling I can't wait for (even better, Matt feeling the baby).
I've had a little bit more in the way of stretchy-feelings, but nothing overly terrible. For the most part I feel pretty good...a bit tired, but nothing out of the ordinary. I am noticing that even though I don't have too much in the way of nausea, I never know what to eat, because NOTHING sounds good. That and foods with very strong tastes (garlic etc) do not like me. In spite of all this I think I've gained back about 1lb (still 5 or so down); so I guess I'm eating something.
I ordered myself a totally cute maternity swimsuit. I tried on my tankini (the one I wore on our honeymoon in Jamaica) and the top wouldn't stop rolling up...I'm sure that's in part from my gaining 20 lbs since I last wore it (I'm blaming it on IF)...I can't blame it all on the Alien. Hopefully it will get here soon and hopefully it fits right and looks good. It's been kind of hit or miss with maternity clothes. My old navy jeans are ehh...I have to safety pin the back of them, but my kohls one's I LOVE (they fit just perfect).
Now I just have to find some clothes for NC...I have a couple of knit shorts which still should fit and I have a couple of tops coming from motherhood....so hopefully I'll be good. It's hard to know what I'm going to look like in 3 weeks; especially considering this is heading towards the time when suddenly people go from bloat to pregnant looking. I'll probably just go to walmart or fashion bug and pick up some knit capris and shorts. I do have two cute sun dresses.
I'm definitely starting to notice my "bump" getting bigger. Of course I am ONLY 15 weeks....according to the PP she didn't show, even to herself, until she was at LEAST 20 weeks (woopdee-freekin-do). I'm seriously thinking more and more her animosity toward me is nothing more than vying for attention: Oh well.
Here's the latest and greatest of the belly shots (I always think of alcohol when I say that); sorry, it's kind of blurry. This was taken in the morning, and I definitely have more of a bump at night.

Oh -but if you order anything online, check out www.retailmenot.com first... it lists coupon codes!
The thunder sound on the doppler is totally the baby moving around in there. Awesome, no!?!
Love the bathing suit. I found some good clearanced items at target.com. (They actually have an online baby sale going on right now... that may include maternity clothes so check it out!) LOVE my Kohl's maternity jeans, too. Well, one pair of them at least. They have fit perfectly since I got them months ago. I picked up a second pair but they are a slightly different style and don't fit quite as nicely.
I've also had bouts of absolutely nothing sounding good. I'm actually going through that right now and really only want to eat popcicles or fudgecicles, which, you know, is not so healthy...
The suit is soooo cute!
Cute suit and cute belly!!
The swimming suit is really cute. Yay for 15 weeks!
The swimsuit is awesome - I'm hoping I can get by with the tanktini I have right now but I'm sure if I tried it on I would be sort of horrified at how tight the belly has gotten.
I totally hear you on the food thing - I keep saying I have food depression cause things I totally love just hold no appeal to me right now. I will pretty much eat anything if you put it in front of me but I am absolutely useless at deciding what I want to eat when I'm actually hungry. So weird.
